UPGRADE UTILITY MAIN MENU HELP
This program facilitates upgrading a Novell 2.1x file server to a Novell 386 v1.0 file server.
There are two ways to do this. The easiest way is to bring up a NetWare 386 1.0 file server with sufficient disk space to copy part or all of the information on a NetWare 2.1x file server. If you do not have sufficient disk drives to do this, you can back up a NetWare 2.1x file server to offline storage media, then restore it to a NetWare 386 file server. Either of these two methods will retain bindery information, trustee rights, and file and directory flags.
Select an option using the UP and DOWN keys, then press SELECT. Press ESCAPE to exit the Upgrade Utility.

VERIFY AFTER WRITE:
This field should be set to YES if you want all writes to a backup device to be verified by reading them back in and comparing them with what was written. If you set this field to YES, the backup processes will take longer to execute.

OPTIONS FORM HELP
FILES TO INCLUDE:
This field consists of a list of file specifications of files to back up. If this list is not empty, only those files which match a specification in the list will be backed up. If the list is empty, all files will be backed up. However, any file which match a specification listed in FILES TO EXCLUDE will not be backed up even if it matches a file specification in the FILES TO INCLUDE list.
FILES TO EXCLUDE:
This field consists of a list of file specifications of files to not back up. Any file that matches a specification in this list will not be backed up, regardless of whether it matches a specification in the FILES TO INCLUDE list.

OPTIONS FORM HELP
DATA COMPACTION:
This field should be set to YES if you want the data to be compacted on the backup device. Data compaction allows more information to be placed on the backup media. Compacted data can take longer to backup and restore.
DATA ENCRYPTION:
This field should be set to YES if you want the data to be encrypted on the backup device. Encrypted data is more secure -- it can only be used if the encryption key is know. Encrypted backup takes a little longer than non encrypted backup.
SOURCE DIRECTORY:
This field contains the directory to backup. If the BACKUP SUBDIRECTORY field is set to YES, all subdirectories to this directory will also be backed up.
page 4 of 5

This field contains the directory to restore to. All subdirectories backed up will be restored relative to this directory.
